Abstract :The use of clothing, starting from prehistoric times with the instinct of covering and protecting from natural events and attacks, is a lively fashion item that reflects the characteristics of individuals and society. Designers keep the fashion cycle alive by ensuring the continuity of innovations. Techniques such as drape, pleat and crease are the techniques that emerged as a result of the search for innovation and have been used in clothing for centuries. Pleat is the process of folding, patterning and shaping natural and synthetic-based fabrics passed between molds or rollers under high heat. In this study, pleating methods used in clothing were researched and examples of the Pilisoley technique, which is predominantly used within Vakko, were discussed. Pilisoley is formed by ironing pleats in accordion-like appearance on fabric cut from a slant. Pilisoley clothing often have a \`sagging problem\`. Through this study, it is aimed to reach the correct cut values at once, to prevent sagging and unnecessary fabric consumption, and to save time accordingly.
